Homeschooling day the first...

The Mom With BrowniesToday was the first day of homeschooling for this year. We take July off and December off. Brise is in 3rd grade. Vinze is in Kindergarten. I got up early...yuck...woke the boys up. Let the twins sleep. And after breakfast the day began. Twins up, eat, play. Boys read, write, play. Shelly feed, teach, clean.

The day went off without a hitch. Brise and Vinze both worked the allotted time and pages from their daily plan. They actually did more work than was planned...and did it well! I was happy to see that the kitchen table sufficed for the daily routine. The twins napped and played on cue!

I've tomorrow's day planned. I have high hopes that they will keep up the good work. I think the "pep-talk" Brian gave them this past weekend may have something to do with the school-boy charm...But I'll take it.

Brian and I went for a walk tonight. That is saying something as we don't exercise enough. Let me rephrase that...We don't exercise at all. So this was a step in the right direction. I suppose being "the mom with brownies" has it's disadvantages too. That would be the part where I often partake of the delicacy of which I often bake. hee hee... It shows. So, I'll try the doctors advice. We'll see how walking works for us. Hopefully quite well.

When I've gone the way of the Dodo bird, they'll have this blog to read. It serves as our family scrapbook because I am NOT buying any more of those wavy scissors!

Copy the blog and make it into a book kids, Momma Loves You! :o)

TOO FAR GONE

The road is long; The journey’s farCan’t turn back; I’ve gone too farHow long I wait for time to end;The road is long. I cannot mend.

To much temptation I’ve given in.Too much temptation; I’ve given in.I’ve gone too far to turn back now.I’ve gone too far to live for Him.

I stand, I wait for time to end,My time to end! When will it end!?I hear of God’s Forgiving Grace... Too far-gone to reach His Face.

'I’ve just to ask for it', I hear.'For me He died; He’ll end my fear.'I’ve gone too far in sin! I cry.For me, Lord Jesus did not die.

If He would see me kneel to pray,A hypocrite I’d be that day.I’ve gone too far to see His Face.I’m too far gone for Healing Grace.---What time is good for you, My Child?I stand and wait for you, My Child,If you would kneel and pray to Me,A hypocrite I would not see.

I made the road you’re standing on.What is too far? How long’s too long?I made the time you’re living in.My Blood will cover any sin.

Kneel and pray to Me, My Child.I’ll hold you dear to Me, My Child.The road, to you, may seem too long.But My Arms are Great and Very Strong.
